THE RECESS.
House joint resolution providing for
recess until Wednesday, May 9th,
was communicated back from the Sen
ate by Senator Mccormick, with an
amendment designating April 2Oth in
stead of May 9th.
It's consideration was at once begun.
Mr.. Figgat hoped the amendment
would not he adopted.
Mr.. A. Fulkerson thought the amend
ment a very proper one, and 50 did
Mr.. Martin.
Mr.. Stuart (Nr. Cardwell in the chair
hoped the amendment would be voted
down. IL would take week for the
commission to find ont the resources
and expenditures OF the State, also a
week to find out the liabilities of the
State.
Mr.. Buchanan was opposed to con-
curing in the Senate amendment. 1t
will take thirty days for the commission
to do its work. Thirty lays are needed,
too, TO print the report of the
reyisers Of the Code. He wanted the
Joint committee to have time in which
10 meet and confer fully and freely with
the foreign committee. Opportunity
should be given the English committee
to look into the State finances, feel the
temper of the people, learn the States
resources and ability to pay.
Mr.. Hoge was in favor OF the Senate
amendment. He believed that two Or
three days was all that WAS necessary
for the two commissions to meet, con-
fer, and come to O conclusion.
Mr.. Hay moved to amend the Senate
amendment by striking out April both
and inserting April 26th.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr.. Stusrt then sail that il the House
had policy at all it would vote down
this amendment and insist on its own
resolution. The foreign bondholders
understand that we will give them time
TO conc to a conclusion with our repre-
sfntatiyes.
Mr. Mallory agreed with the views OF
Mr.. Buchanan and Mr.. Stuart. The
Legislature. through the Governor, had
cabled the foreign bondholders that we
would give them ample time, and sheer
courtesy to them require at our hands
to give them the thirty days recess
asked for 10y them.
Mr.. Etribling favored the Senate
amendment.
Mr.. Figgat earnestly advocated the
defeat Of the Senate amendment. Time
and the opportunity must be given the
committee TO intelligently do its work.
Mr.. Franklin moved TO amend the
Senate amendment by inserting We'd
NJ osdsy, June lst, instead of April 10th.
Mir. Mayo Republican, said he
had heard that you could put a
dozen expert accountants in the base
ment Of the Capitol and give each one
year 10 DO the work, and at the end of
that period neither one of them would
come within five millions of the other
as to what the State did owe.
Mr.. Franklin's amendment was re-
iected.
Mr.. Fay moved TO amend the amend.
ment by inserting April 9th instead OF
May 9Th.
